I am noble I am dust
A piece of work and turning rust
They say my father’s sins are mine
A debt I pay before my time
I try to be myself but then
The world just wants me something else
So I’m a servant I’m a king
What does that even mean

They paint a hero on the wall
Who gives his life and loses all
But I’m just trying not to fall

Cause I’m a tragedy in motion
A speck of dust upon the ocean
Falling through the fingers of time
But I feel the sun I feel the rain
I’ll take the suffering and the pain
And burn it like a fuel for this climb
Yeah this is living
This is the art of living

They say the greatest loss is not the grave
It’s what dies inside while you are brave
So I’ll face the fear I’ll meet its eye
I’ll wrestle with the why
Cause happiness ain’t ready made
It’s every single choice I’ve made
And though I’m in the gutter here
I’m looking at the stars from here

They paint a hero on the wall
But rising every time I fall
Might be the greatest thing of all

Cause I’m a tragedy in motion
A speck of dust upon the ocean
Falling through the fingers of time
But I feel the sun I feel the rain
I’ll take the suffering and the pain
And burn it like a fuel for this climb
Yeah this is living
This is the art of living

And I cannot say that I’ll be here tomorrow
That’s a weight that’s a gift that’s the sorrow
The only thing to fear is fear itself
So I put my heart upon the shelf
And I take it down and I let it break
For every single choice I make

I am a tragedy in motion
A speck of dust upon the ocean
Falling through the fingers of time
But I feel the sun I feel the rain
I’ll take the suffering and the pain
And burn it like a fuel for this climb
Yeah this is living
This is the art of living

It goes on
It goes on
The measure of a man
Is in the rising
Yeah it goes on
